Email is cost-effective as it doesn\u2019t require you to pay much when you\u2019re starting out, and it\u2019s also a great support channel for other digital marketing strategies, like <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/email-marketing\/\">content marketing<\/a>. You can use email to notify potential customers of any brand-related happenings, like new products and\/or services you\u2019re offering, new content you\u2019ve created, and any other special promotions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Now, if you\u2019re using the right <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wordpress-email-marketing-plugins\/\">email marketing tool<\/a>, setting up an email marketing system on your WordPress site is not that difficult. What can be a challenge, however, is getting people to subscribe to receive emails from you. Luckily, there are also tools like MailChimp that can help you design and add simple, but visually attractive and user-friendly email subscription forms to your WordPress site. These forms can help motivate your visitors to sign up and stay up to date with all your business-related happenings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Without further ado,<strong> here\u2019s how you can easily create a WordPress email subscription using the popular MailChimp service.<\/strong> We will also show you how to sign up to MailChimp for free, as well as how to create your first email campaign, so make sure to read on:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#signing-up-to-mailchimp\">Signing Up to MailChimp<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#creating-an-email-campaign\">Creating an Email Campaign<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#creating-an-email-subscription-form\">Creating an Email Subscription Form<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;new-top-picks-banner&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"signing-up-to-mailchimp\"><\/a>Signing Up to MailChimp<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you have a relatively moderate number of subscribers, i.e. less than 2000, or if you\u2019re only starting out, then <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MailChimp<\/a> is a great email service you can use completely for free.
